The first film for makeup effects legend Rick Baker.
A brief clip from the climactic final attack scene later appeared in the 1985 horror film "Fright Night." In that film Roddy McDowall introduces the scene as being from a fictional movie called "Mars Needs Flesh."
The actor who donned the Octaman monster suit could only see through a small pair of holes in the forehead of the monster head. With vision so limited the performers movements had to be very careful as to not damage the suit. This is why the monster moves in such a lumbering way.
Despite being called "Octaman" the monster suit only has six arms. Naturally, only two of the arms are functional thanks to the actor inside the suit. A lower pair was loosely attached to the actor's arms to help hold them up and, thus, look somewhat more imposing.
The movie briefly appears in the 1990 movie Gremlins 2 as "Attack of the Octopus People".
